That's quite the dance, Mike! Sharp, clear and engaging. The dof works particularly well here.

Hi Mike, lovely capture...always great to catch a moment like this. Good details and composition. Well done.

About the ID. S. Danae is what we call a Black Darter and they don't look like this. The species is sexually dimorphic with the female a yellow colour. I have a male, a female and a mating pair in my collection you can have a look and tell me what you think?


Good shot.

Mating pair

Female

Male

The pictures aren't great but I think you can see.

Hi Mike,
I made a trip around your wonderful photos.
Every single of them is so special and pretty.
This one I like very much, I never had that luck to see dragonflies in love. This must be so impressive, congratulations, you've seen a great moment, thanks for showing it to us with this excellent shot, perfect.
